New diagnosis of ascending aortic aneurysm and I’m terrified

7.9 emergency AAA surgery 2/5/24. Scheduled to have 6.0 Ascending Aorta and leaky valve repaired in 2 weeks 10/16 at Emory. It’s been a hell of a year.

I still have a 4.0 left after all this. Was diagnosed with 3. To me, after the 6.0 is repaired, I’m repaired. I’ll monitor the 4.0 as recommended but I’m not going to worry about it rupturing knowing how big my others were. I also got on anxiety meds while recovering/waiting between surgeries. It has helped. We’re all miracles here. Enjoy your life best you can.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Praying for success and quick recovery with your upcoming surgery. I agree I think anxiety meds are helpful and my doctor just prescribed some so hopefully I’ll be getting some relief from this constant worry. Thank you once again.🙏🏻

Just wanted to drop in and wish you a successful surgery and recovery.. I am sure you will be glad to have this behind you in a few days. Hoping it goes as smooth as can possibly be for you!
